Chapter 3: Two Pairs of Glasses

Screwdriver: Now that we finished with our meal, up next is the party trick contest! There’s a stage ready too!

Seventh Heaven: Hahaha…how interesting. Splendid; the one who exposes themselves in the funniest way shall receive a reward from the Prince of the Underworld

Salty Dog: Huh? A reward? We can have anything?? Well then, I’ll go first! My imitation of Emerald Mist! Hey! You idiot! What are you doing? Get back to work! How long are you planning on being lazy for?

Manhattan: Gahahahaha! That’s him! That’s so him!

Emerald Mist: ….You’ve got balls, Salty Dog. I won’t be forgetting this.

Mistia Royale: With these strong glasses... I’m a splitting image of him. Um… Well then, I’ll imitate the weak one. Woah!!! This is a rare Narami Pasta figure! Is there a place where I can buy it!? This is something I can’t obtain from an auction.

Grasshopper: Woah! T-t-that’s mean! I d-d-d-d-don’t sound like that!

MC: Oh, by ‘the weak one’ you meant Grasshopper

American Lemonade: Well, I’ll partake too! Uh...the person I’m going to imitate is....

Grandpa: huhuhu, we were able to have a great time. Please allow me to rest now. Everyone, you should all sleep soon as well.

Tom Collins: Goodnight, grandfather. We will also be returning to our rooms shortly.

MC: Grandpa...I’m glad he seems to be doing better than I thought he would. He laughed at everyone’s impersonations

Moulin Rouge: But he may be pushing himself. His friend has been holding a grudge against him this entire time, something like that is rough.

Martini: Ha, no matter what he planned on coming to do, I’m gonna stop em. This isn’t a laboratory anymore. I won’t let him do what he wants...

MC: ...? Jeremy is your lifesaver, isn’t he? Why do you hate him, Martini?

Martini: Wha? That bastard is no lifesaver of mine. He’s the root of all evil!

Tom Collins: Martini, calm down. She doesn’t know the details of what happened in England.

Moulin Rouge: You know that Jeremy was the head of the research facility, right? From the time he was in university, he worked as head scientist of the institution. By combining alchemy with his production skills, we became his finished product. Without him, we would not exist in this world.

Martini: I get that we wouldn’t be here without that son of a bitch. But because of him.... Because of his experiments, all of our friends were killed!

MC: All of them... That’s...

Tom Collins: What Martini is saying is the truth. Because of what happened in the past, none of us think of Jeremy as a lifesaver.

Moulin Rouge: But things changed when we became close with Master and Sumire. They didn’t want to participate actively in the experiments anymore.

Manhattan: They certainly did change, huh. Jeremy was too smart for his own good, so therefore he was very lonely. The only people he ever opened his heart to were Master and Sumire.

MC: I see...

Moulin Rouge: To Jeremy, the two of them were the most important people in his life. Jeremy was in love with Sumire after all.. But then Master and Sumire left him behind, and got married in a far away country. Jeremy probably felt that was an act of betrayal.

Manhattan: Don’t misjudge my words, but didn’t master steal Sumire away from him? Jeremy suffered from unrequited love

Tom Collins: Or perhaps it was precisely because grandfather knew of his feelings, he was hesitant in his relationship with Sumire. However, from the time she was in England, Sumire was in love with grandfather… And that’s why Sumire couldn’t give him up, and time and time again vented her feelings to grandfather.

Moulin Rouge: And then, after not contacting Jeremy for several years, he was upfront with Jeremy about his feelings and made Sumire his wife.

MC: So if Jeremy is holding a grudge against grandpa because of what happened with grandma, then why didn’t he come sooner?

Martini: I’m done talking about that son of a bitch. It’s gonna spoil our hot spring trip.

Tom Collins: You’re right. Let’s stop this conversation for now. There are children who are also afraid of Jeremy anyways.

Moulin Rouge: Right..

Manhattan: Well then, shall we end this conversation and go back to our impersonation contest? Next up is me! I’m going to need your help.

MC: Huh? I can’t!

Moulin Rouge: Oh, nice! I can’t wait to see this ♡
